Face Fitness—Want to avoid poking and prodding?

One of the ladies at our Face Fitness Eye Workshop said she tuned in because she doesn’t want to have her face poked and prodded.

Good.  She hasn't been brainwashed by the beauty industry and their slippery marketing ploys.

But like lots of people, she wants to do what’s best to keep her skin toned, fit, and bloomy.

She still wants to get rid of droopy eyebrows, and those little foldovers in the eyelids, not to mention crow’s feet, sags, and puff.

There seems to be so many options these days. The problem is—they’re mostly temporary.

Surgery and injectables have to be done again.

Fillers, re-surfacing (ouch), lasers—short-term and artificial.

And artificial beauty is temporary beauty

Another big thing to think about is they’re not cumulative… i.e., if you have botox, you don’t need less next time.

Everyone wants more natural options. Easier options. Safer options.

Some of you have seen my business partner, Dr. Steven Yen, talk about what you can do to stay ageless and beautiful in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, naturally.

Surprise! It doesn’t happen in a spa.

You do it at home all by yourself.

All you need is you. And a little knowledge on how your muscles work...and 2 Q tips :)

And facial posture is the key, which is one of the 3 core anchors of Face Fitness.

It’s like when you remember to stand up straight… you look thinner and taller! In command.

And gradually you stand up straight more and more. It comes naturally.

It’s the same with Face posture.

And Tip #1 for you is to learn to keep your mouth shut!

No, Dr. Yen’s not being rude.

What can that possibly have to do with how old your eyes look???

Because when you have your mouth open, it creates tension around the eyes.

This affects the muscles and what do you get?

Droop, sags, and the dreaded folds!  Simple...and obvious.

So one of the key things we focus on in the Eye Workshops to improve your Face Fitness is to help you correct wonky facial posture or habits.

(Bad habits really… we all have some!)

To release eye tension, you have to keep your mouth shut. Plus there’s other things you can do to improve facial posture.

Remember, keeping your mouth shut is like standing up straight. It eases the tension that drags those eye muscles down, the same way slouching drags you down.

Here’s a quick exercise so you can see the difference.

Try it:
Open your mouth wide. Blink
Close your mouth. Blink
FEEL the difference in eye tension?

Remember, while there are options to help you look younger around the eyes...they’re usually temporary.

Do something that helps long term. Cumulative (and free!). (Microcurrent does this too, but that’s a lesson for another day!)

To make a big difference that lasts, first you need to learn how to correct your facial posture.

We went through this in much greater details (Dr. Yen likes to talk too much sometimes….actually, often!) during our Face Fitness Eye Workshop, and here’s an email from one of the ladies who attended.

Hi Maxine:

I am faithfully doing my eye exercises…however, I did not take a “before” picture, but I can tell you that there are definitely changes occurring….subtle but noticeable. For example, my eyes appear brighter, more open, and my eyebrows are much easier to apply pencil to, as they appear more even, therefore less fussing.

You asked for my other trouble areas: around my lips and downward to my jawline.

Thank you for your interest and I look forward to your next session. As for the “Warsh Cloths,”  I would be happy to pay for them…they sound great.

Love, Mary-Anne

Some of you may know—we had a technical blip on zoom during the last workshop :(

That was the bad news!

The good news is, Dr. Yen was able to salvage it :)

He’s finally working on getting the recording ready.

Would you like the link to join us for the replay???  When it’s ready?

Let us know.

Contact us and we’ll get beck to you with the link.

Here’s to your ageless beauty!
